"SCOM 7.3 has worked beautifully and I'm amazed how quickly I get scores done with the new Define Score menus! It’s also awesome how it compiles even my very early scores, which needed just ticks-to-ratios conversion. There’s indeed some magic in SCOM, which is not found in any other composition platforms!" (Nigel Morgan, the author of Parametric Composition book and SCOM’s N-Gel Module & Chicago Quartet score contribs).
"I feel like this is a MAJOR jump for SCOM 7. Thanks for the
continually development. Not many programs have that kind of
pedigree in an essentially steady and linear improvement in
functions!"
"This mail just for say to you my first impression of the new SCOM
6.5: Awesome!! 'm so happy with the new menus, chords and degree
scales, I love the new workflow upgrades and I love in general the
look and feel."

"Congratulation for the new
release of SCOM with Sibelius and Finale Support!"

"I love SCOM because it is so pure. I don't want alternatives!"

"It's really the most wonderful
tool I have ever seen for music composition."

"SCOM steps beyond notation and
playing skills, like no other software can do."

Symbolic
Composer is a cross-platform application that allows you
to compose songs in a professional environment.

With the help of Symbolic Composer, composers will be able
to write, edit and view their compositions before the MIDI
can be generated.

Moreover, Symbolic Composer is a toolbox for stretching
your musical creativity and was designed to give you total
freedom when trying to write music.

Furthermore, the Symbolic Composer app provides almost all
world-music tunings, and its libraries cover past 500
years of compositional traditions.

Many Faces Of Symbolic
Composer

Symbolic Composer is a context-free language that lets you
program any detail of your music. It's a thinking tool for
pre-compositional melody, harmony, rhyhtm and structural
arrangements. Make music from mathematics, astronomy, even
genetics.

"SCOM
covers past 500 years of compositional
traditions and the tools for the future.
SCOM's rich music programming language
supplies the composer tools to program any
music style and complexity. SCOM is a
complete interactive musical encyclopedia.
When the idea hits you, just press Compile",
summarizes composer and music educator Nigel
Morgan from UK.

Sophisticated Music Programming EnvironmentSymbolic Composer also includes
integrated playback and notation capabilities.

Take a peek
in the new guitar synth. It allows to
transcript guitar riffs intuitively. Just
enter the frets that you play.
Symbolic Composer analyzes them into tonalities,
symbols, rhythms and dynamics. No
time-consuming notation stage in between.

Arrange it to full-blown composition. Even use
algorithms to move virtual fingers around the fretboard.

Use chord-names from notebooks, such as c#7b5#9m,
dm6add9, those lovely full-bodied chords match the way
they are played on a guitar.

Emulate special tunings used by famous guitarists,
and styles. Use drop-d, open-e and other tunings, or
define your own.

Guitar Synth suits in modeling fretted instruments such
as guitar, bass, mandolin and sitar up to 12 strings.

SCOM Shortly

Symbolic Composer is a non-profit Artificial
Intelligence project, and needs your
contribution to cover maintenance costs caused
by OS changes, bug fixes and new function
additions. Upgrades are used to cover these
costs. You can also contribute by submitting
Lisp functions and scores made with SCOM. Keep
it green yourself and compose because you can.

"Exciting"

“Symbolic Composer was one of the first systems
that I encountered that explored the art of
algorithmic composing interactively. The system
functions are selected from hierarchical menus
and pasted on the editor, so it’s a completely
different approach to musical compositions. It’s
like composing music from one’s DNA structure.”,
Composer Richard
Devine.

"Ingenious"

"Nowadays,
symmetries
are widely used in musical composition, for
instance in the various transformation tools
of sequencers, and explicitly in the author‚s
prestor (see chapter 49) and in Opcode‚s MAX
or in music software with fractal composition
tools as realized by Mesias Maiguashca [220]
or by the ingenious Symbolic Composer
software.", Mazzola

"Wonderful"

"I wish to thanks people that have contributed
in important way to the creation of this book:
All the developers of the wonderful
algorithmic composition software Symbolic
Composer, that I have used for the composition
of the exercises - and Douglas R. Hofstadter for
the beauty of his ideas on the perception, and
parallels to artificial intelligence", Claudio
Martini, Author Of I Pattern Automutanti.
